According to the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences, the boy was 2 months old and died in the pediatric intensive care unit. An autopsy has been completed, but the primary and contributory causes of death were not available late Tuesday.

According to HPD homicide detectives, Bryan had been taking care of the baby last week in the 4800 block of Markwood Lane before the boy arrived at the hospital with "several blunt trauma injuries."

Further investigation determined that Daniel's injuries were not consistent with the father's account of what occurred with the baby.

"He was re-interviewed by HPD homicide investigators and subsequently admitted to causing the injuries," the release said.
